Looking for an ICC profile for Epson Premium Presentation Matte on SC-P800

Epson used to have one. I know because its ghost remains in the now
unrecoverable Recycle Bin of an old HDD. I've tried searching the
various major Epson sites around the world but haven't been able to
find a downloadable copy. There may be one in regional driver
downloads for the printer but that is playing Russian Roulette. I
would be grateful if someone could point me to a site where I can find
the profile, either that to an equivalent more readily available
profile.

You might be the victim of OS updates so you will probably need to reinstall a fresh copy of the P800 driver. You might also need to check your Adobe settings to make sure that paper/printer profile options are checked in the appropriate dialog box.

Anyway, I have located the following, which might provide some info:

https://epson.com/Support/Printers/Professional-Imaging-Printers/SureColor-Series/Epson-SureColor-P800/s/SPT_SCP800SE#iccprofile
However, until further notice Epson seems to be running with a minimal COVID-19 ‘skeleton’ crew. I guess there are folks who consider photo printers non-essential in these tough times.

....and this one which seems to be a frantic search or a solution:

My drivr install is about 3 weeks old. One problem is that Epson
provides different driver packages, containing different sets of
profiles, for different parts of the world.

Anyway, I have located the following, which might provide some info:

I've already found that one, but it doesn't help. But thanks anyway.

I think that's Mac. Windows doesn't work that ay.

A related question: a JPG is a JPG and will be read correctly by
installed software irrespective of whether the file is on big-endian
or little-endian computer (PC or Mac). Does the same thing apply to
ICC color profile files?

If I am offered a color profile from a Mac (which may well happen),
can I install and run it on a PC (Windows 10).

macs and pcs have the same endianness.

lightroom is platform agnostic, as are epson printers for that matter.

I don’t see why there should be a problem. The icc profile is part of the dialog between LR/PS and the printer. If that is your only option then try it.
